My dear old friend Jitka is an owner of a small zippered pouch, which I made years ago using fabrics by Anni Downs, one of my favourite designers. Some time ago, Jitka asked me to sew a new one from those fabrics, if possible. There are thousands of tiny pieces of fabrics by Anni Downs in my stash and I love working with them! There was only a little time problem, but finally I managed to finish the pouches before Christmas.
I still have some pictures from the fabric collection Love To Garden (one of the most successful collections ever).
I decided for two colour schemes: red and light blue.
Two evenings were spent arranging background collages.
I used two of my favourite techniques – sew as you go and appliqué.
Then every piece was cut to the right size.
The least popular part of sewing for me is zippering and finishing, but it is extremely satisfactory to see the finished pouches.

Happy advent time and very merry stitching!
